Anyone done the course? Thinking about it? I've just sent in my application form to start the course in September, I'm hoping for the 6 month course despite my irrelevant degree.

Apparently I'd be the first childminder in my area to undertake the course.

chabbychic, I am a CM and did the EYPS last year also on the 6 month pathway. I found the first session to be SO confusing so don't let it put you off.

It is doable and manageable. Please let me know if you want to know anything more. I will be very happy to help out.

Good luck Pippin - I guess you'll have to do the 15 month pathway? I'm hoping to avoid that.

Thanks Frakkin.

Good luck! I'd have loved to do it but you can't as a nanny.

I am hoping to gain it, however i cannot do the course unless i get my maths gcse first.
I am doing the top up degree and going to work my maths alongside and then do EYPS.
I too would be the first minder in my area to gain it.
